Dricus du Plessis Slams Brendan Schaub For Failed UFC 305 Pick
Never one to let things slide, Dricus du Plessis hopped on his X account to bash Schaub for thinking Israel Adesanya was going to run through him.
Dricus du Plessis made sure to remind Brendan Schaub that he predicted Israel Adesanya was going to “beat the sh*t out of him” 😅

“Great prediction, you has been,” Dricus wrote. “JK haha you’ve never been.”
Following his big UFC 305 win, du Plessis isn’t short on options for his next title defense. There’s the possibility of a rematch against Sean Strickland. One can’t rule out “Stillknocks” facing the winner of Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev, which is set for October.
On top of that, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Alex Pereira, vowed to make the move back down to the middleweight division where he first captured UFC gold.
In response, du Plessis warned “Poatan” that he doesn’t think it would be a good idea to drop back down to 185 pounds. He also feels the move would open up the door for “excuses” if he defeats Pereira.
